The Supreme Court affirmed Pakkirisamy's conviction under IPC Sections 302 (murder) and 392 (robbery) for the August 1986 killing and robbery of Mohambal, sentencing him to life imprisonment and 10 years rigorous imprisonment respectively. The Court upheld the lower courts' reliance on circumstantial evidence, including an extra-judicial confession to a village officer, recovery of stolen jewelry, and the appellant's financial need for his sister's marriage, finding these circumstances adequately corroborated and conclusively established guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
